Kill running (background) apps

[Divi45]

How do you guys kill your apps that are runnig in the background in spite of the fact that I dont use them at that time.

For example, when I open my book reader app and close it, it still keeps running in the background...so does Facebook, Maps app, some gallery view app etc...

When I close these apps I want them to be CLOSED !

Is there any way to do that on my non-rooted Xperia SP ?

Recent apps might be removed from task manager,but in the running apps you might still find some of them.

@alexdon: What is "recent task manager"?

[_alexdon_]

Is a list of recently used apps,you can get it by double tapping home button.

You can use an app called "Greenify", although hibernating apps is manual for non-rooted devices or stop worrying about closing them, Android will close them when memory is needed

Stamina mode also helps the device to "deep sleep"

'double tapping home button' doesn't work on SP

So it is long pressing home?

On Xperia SP it's the icon on the right of the home icon.

clic once...

you just have to press and hold the home button
